Assemble
Discard the chilling ice from the serving glass if it has melted significantly, then refill the glass with fresh ice. Strain the mixed bourbon blend into the prepared glass over the fresh ice.

Notes
Adjust ginger beer to taste for more or less effervescence. Use fresh-squeezed lime for best flavor. If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, increase pineapple juice to 0.75–1 oz.
